As long as he could see the approach lights, the rest would be easy. Xu Cang immediately corrected the angle between the course and the extended runway according to the approach lights. For Xu Cang, it was not difficult to make the correction with visual reference.
There is still a little over a thousand feet between visually seeing the approach lights and landing, which takes a little over a minute. Comparatively speaking, this is a lot of room for correction, and you can slowly and calmly get back.
In some extreme cases, such as some Category III special airports, there is an angle between the localizer and the extended runway of the blind landing. Unlike the VOR approach to Runway 28 at Erhai Lake, the visual phase of the blind landing starts below the decision altitude, which means there is only 200 feet of correction space, which is estimated to be only a dozen seconds when converted into a normal descent rate.
Moreover, once the aircraft reaches a low altitude, the correction amount needs to be controlled, and the slope cannot be too large, otherwise it will easily trigger a warning. This means that the time that really allows the pilot to operate and correct relatively freely is only seven or eight seconds. If the pilot does not notice and correct the horizontal error of the aircraft during these seven or eight seconds, then the error will accumulate to a low altitude, such as entering the air above the runway, and for the pilot, this is actually a relatively failed landing.
A good landing is not about the last shot, but about creating a standard and comfortable entry condition, putting the work of correcting errors up front instead of accumulating them below fifty feet, which will be passive for the pilot.
With Xu Cang's ability, even if the space is only two hundred feet, the impact is actually not that big.
However, no matter what, the gusts of more than ten meters at Erhai Airport are real, and more room for correction will make things easier.
As we lost altitude, more approach lights came into view, stretching out until finally the runway lights were visible.
Although it was daytime, the entire airport was shrouded in fog. The airport had turned the brightness of the runway lights to the highest level, and the outline of the entire runway was outlined by the lights.
"Can you see the runway clearly?" Shi Qi suddenly asked.
Xu Cang knew that this was not the conventional understanding of seeing clearly, but whether he could see the plane's sinking. Although with the help of lights, the relative position of the runway could be determined.
However, the strong light was scattered by the fog, making the area around the runway bright, which in turn obscured the details of the runway surface.
When the pilot is landing, especially the last fifty feet, he needs to judge the sinking of the aircraft based on the visual conditions of the runway surface, and how to look at it also depends on how well he knocks on the door.
However, in the current situation, Shi Qi himself could not see the condition of the runway surface clearly.
"It's okay. The touchdown area of ​​Runway 28 is very flat. I'll level it based on the radio altimeter." Xu Cang was very relaxed and was not worried about not being able to visually see the runway surface condition.
What Xu Cang mentioned about the runway 28 touchdown area being flat does not have any other meaning, but is completely literal.
In many people's impressions, the airport runway should be a flat rectangular area. But in fact, due to various reasons, the runway surface of many airports is not flat, but has a slope, that is, the entire runway surface will have ups and downs like waves.
Of course, there is a limit to the slope of this undulation. If it is greater than this limit, the safety of the runway cannot be guaranteed and the runway needs to be repaired.
However, the runway slope within the limit can sometimes be fatal, especially when it occurs in the touchdown area. The most obvious example is Tuofeng Airport, which is also an airport in the province, and its touchdown area is a slight uphill slope.
This uphill slope is a big pitfall in low visibility or night flight, because if there is an uphill slope in the touchdown area, if the pilot is not careful and performs leveling at a normal rate, it is very likely that the wheels will bite the uphill slope directly during the leveling period, that is, the middle moment of the aircraft's attitude.
What kind of landing is comfortable? That is when the energy of the plane is exhausted.
Why does the plane need to level out? It is to give the plane a relatively smooth energy release process accompanied by the throttle operation. However, during the plane's attitude, the wheels bite the runway surface, which is equivalent to interrupting this process.
In terms of physical sensation, 70% to 80% of the time it is a heavy landing.
Moreover, in poor visibility conditions, it is a common practice to rely on the rate of the radio altimeter to judge the sinking. However, this method will have problems when encountering the undulations of the touchdown area.
For example, below fifty feet, the radio altitudes are fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten, and five.
The pilot judges the aircraft's sinking by the speed of change every ten feet. However, if the touchdown area is undulating, such as the uphill touchdown area of ​​the Hump Airport, after fifty, the aircraft's sinking is actually quite normal, but because the touchdown area is uphill, the change of radio altitude will become abnormally fast, which will disrupt the pilot's judgment and result in some inappropriate leveling actions.
Fortunately, there were no similar problems in the touchdown area of ​​Runway 10 or Runway 28 at Erhai Airport. Therefore, the method of using the radio altimeter reading to judge the aircraft sinking is relatively reasonable.
"Is that so? That's fine too. I won't do anything, so as to avoid disrupting your rhythm." Shi Qi said with a smile.
In terms of flying techniques, Shi Qi might give reminders and raise his own doubts, but when it comes to operations, as long as Xu Cang expressed his ideas, he would not interfere.
After all, in terms of flying skills, the two people's levels are actually opposite to their technical levels.
Xu Cang's movements were leisurely, just like his relaxed state of mind. With so much room for correction, even during severe turbulence, Xu Cang still methodically steered the plane back on course.
However, at this moment, the inspector behind him couldn't help but said, "Xu Cang, what was the method you used to descend? It has never been used before."
"Just some little gadgets, not worth mentioning." Xu Cang said indifferently, and he didn't seem keen on discussing related issues with the bureau's inspectors.
"This is not a small thing." The inspector of the bureau had a keen sense of smell. He could see the significance of this descent method: "Where did you see it? This should be a descent method with a systematic theory. Is it only for VOR, or is it applicable to all non-precision approaches? What about ADF approach and NBD approach? In addition, what are the requirements for the navigation performance of the aircraft? No, you just said that only the most basic navigation capabilities are required, but what does this so-called most basic navigation capabilities mean? Are there any requirements for personnel qualifications? According to what you said just now, no additional qualifications are required. However, I have never heard of related descent methods in the Flight Standards Department."
The inspector asked several questions in a row, but Xu Cang's response was very cold: "I didn't break through the MDA height just now, did I?"
The inspector was stunned for a moment, and replied in a daze: "Yes, before confirming the visual reference, the minimum descent altitude was not exceeded. What do you mean?"
"Then I haven't violated any rules, that's all." After Xu Cang finished speaking, he ignored the bureau's inspector. He just wanted to make sure that he hadn't made any mistakes. As for other questions, he had no interest and no obligation to answer them.
"Xu Cang, what is your practice of adding fifty feet to the minimum descent altitude? What is the basis for these fifty feet? After adding it, what does this new altitude mean, and what is its decisive significance?" The bureau's inspector continued to ask Xu Cang questions about the previous descent method. Obviously, if Xu Cang's descent method could be understood, it would be very likely that it could be promoted.
In any case, in this day and age, non-precision approaches still exist in large numbers.
But suddenly, Xu Cang shouted: "Shut up!"
The inspector was stunned, mistakenly thinking that he had disturbed Xu Cang by asking questions when the landing was approaching, and his attitude was relatively good: "Xu Cang, I'm sorry, I was too excited, I'll tell you after we land, I'll tell you after we land."
However, Xu Cang's brows were already furrowed, and a strange feeling gradually occupied Xu Cang's left hand.
"Why does it feel wrong?"
In the past, Xu Cang felt that the steering wheel or the entire aircraft was an extension of his arms. He could control the aircraft however he wanted without any hindrance.
But now, he inexplicably felt a sense of disharmony in his control of the plane.
The feeling was very slight, but it was real, which made Xu Cang feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is it because of the hand injury?" Xu Cang was not sure whether it was just because of his poor condition or because of the injury to his left hand.
However, the Southwestern Medical Center also confirmed that his hand injury was not serious. It seemed that he was worrying too much?
However, once this slight but uncomfortable feeling appeared, it was like a thorn in the back, making Xu Cang very uncomfortable.
Shi Qi was sitting on the right, and he felt it most directly. He vaguely noticed that the plane's correction action seemed different from before. Although the plane still dynamically maintained on the course, the sense of smoothness seemed to have faded a lot.
Shi Qi turned his head slightly and looked at the profile of Xu Cang, which seemed a little abnormal. Just like his feeling about the plane, Xu Cang also seemed a little different.
"Xu Cang, are you okay?" Shi Qi asked softly, and subconsciously put his right hand on the steering wheel.
"Don't move!" Xu Cang just said these three words lightly, but when Shi Qi heard them, it seemed like there was a hint of warning. Almost instinctively, Shi Qi put his right hand down again.
Xu Cang raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. From then on, the thrust handle controlled by his right hand no longer maintained equal thrust on both sides, but began to show slight thrust inconsistency.
This thrust inconsistency was not caused by the engines, but by Xu Cang. Moreover, this inconsistency was not constant. One moment, the No. 1 engine was stronger than the No. 2 engine, but the next moment, the relationship was reversed.
Shi Qi was the first to notice this situation. He wanted to say something, but he pursed his lips and ultimately said nothing.
At the same time, because the control systems of the Boeing cockpit are connected, the control on one side will also be reflected on the other side. He can feel that Xu Cang is not only manipulating the thrust handle beyond the norm, but even the rudder is also being manipulated.
In fact, when in the air, at least under normal circumstances, the rudder is rarely needed, unless, for example, when the aircraft is flying with a single engine, there is an obvious side slip, and the rudder needs to be used for correction.
Under normal circumstances, the aircraft will not side slip, so there is naturally no need for rudder correction.
It can even be said that in most cases, additional use of the rudder will increase the aircraft's sideslip.
Full rudder and reverse pressure plate to maintain the aircraft's trajectory unchanged, while artificially increasing the sideslip to increase the aircraft's resistance is a typical manifestation of this operation.
However, the rudder has another function, which is to serve as a substitute for ailerons in some cases. However, now that the ailerons of aircraft can function normally, it seems unreasonable to use the rudder to replace the ailerons.
To be honest, it was Xu Cang on the left. If it was any other pilot, even a captain, Shi Qi would have started to question it. But since Xu Cang was sitting next to him, Shi Qi did not question it first, but wondered if he had missed something, or if his vision and thinking could not keep up with Xu Cang's pace and could not understand Xu Cang's approach.
But after thinking about it, he seemed to have never heard of such a way of operating an aircraft. Could it be that Xu Cang not only developed a new non-precision approach descent method, but also had a subversive understanding of the basic concept of aircraft control?
As a result, Shi Qi did not say anything, and the inspector of the bureau could not help but ask: "Xu Cang, what is your technique? Is this how you control the thrust handle? Who taught you?"
Artificially creating differential throttle and artificially causing sideslip, how can you fly a plane like this?
The inspector had never flown with Xu Cang before, but he had heard of Xu Cang's reputation. Therefore, after discovering Xu Cang's maneuvers, he did not speak out immediately, just like Shi Qi. After all, Xu Cang was well-known, so perhaps he had some personal characteristics in maneuvering?
However, as the altitude decreased and they were only three hundred feet from the ground, Xu Cang still did this, and the bureau's inspectors could no longer bear it.
It is normal for flight control to have personal characteristics, but it is not right to be like this. It makes no sense at all.
However, after the bureau inspector spoke up, Xu Cang ignored him, which made the bureau inspector a little annoyed.
What do you mean? Ignore me?
The next moment, Xu Cang asked back: "Did I deviate from the course by more than one point? Did the descent rate drop below 500 and above 1,000? Did any warnings trigger? If so, please raise them directly. If not, please keep quiet. You are affecting my control."
"You..." The inspector's face was uncertain. However, Xu Cang was telling the truth. Don't worry about how I control it. The plane is now stable on the correct trajectory, and all flight data are normal.
However, under Xu Cang's control, the plane was relatively stable, but the small fluctuations basically never stopped. However, the inspector thought it was caused by turbulence and did not think about it carefully.
After the plane reached an altitude of fifty feet, Xu Cang began to adjust the trim backwards. At about twenty feet, he stepped on the throttle and then directly reduced the throttle. The plane touched the runway with a relatively solid landing.
As soon as the plane landed, Xu Cang pulled up the speed brake and raised his right hand: "Hand over the controls."
Shi Qi was totally unprepared to take over the controls. Usually the person sitting on the right would hand over the controls to the person sitting on the left. How could the person sitting on the left hand over the controls to the person sitting on the right?
However, this is not a hard and fast rule, but it is relatively rare. Because many 737s only have hand wheels on the left side, but not on the right side. In this case, only the left seat can make a large turn, so when taxiing on the ground, only the left side can be used for control.
However, this aircraft is a little special. It also has a handwheel on the right side, so there is no obstacle for Shi Qi to perform ground operations.
Although he didn't understand why Xu Cang wanted to hand over the controls, Shi Qi reacted after a brief moment of surprise: "Take the controls."
"Hand in control."
As the entire control conversion process was completed, Xu Cang directly took his feet off the rudder.
On the runway, the plane's speed was decreasing due to the automatic braking. Shi Qi controlled the plane's taxiing direction and was able to spare some energy to glance at Xu Cang. Xu Cang had a stern face and it was hard to tell what his emotion was.
"Nothing will happen, right?" Shi Qi wondered.
Erhai Airport is not big, and after leaving the runway, the plane slid directly into the apron. There were other planes behind, so we arranged a bridge position, and when we turned in, it was right in front of the parking position.
A few minutes later, the plane approached the bridge and cut off the engine.
After completing the shutdown checklist, Shi Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't sleepy, but he was still a little tired after flying such a long flight.
Xu Cang unbuckled his seat belt, took off his headphones and threw them on the sun visor. He didn't say anything special. He turned on the front cabin monitor and seemed to be waiting for all the passengers to get off.
For some reason, once Xu Cang stopped talking, no one in the cockpit dared to speak, not even Shi Qi and the inspector from the bureau.
Anyone could sense that Xu Cang seemed to be in a bad mood. The inspector from the bureau who had raised questions before landing had now obediently shut up. Even if he was slow, he felt it was better not to offend Xu Cang.
The plane was close to the bridge, so passengers could get off much faster. After about seven or eight minutes, when almost everyone had gotten off, Xu Cang began to unplug his headphones, pack up his things, and prepare to get off. But the inspector from the bureau could not get off yet, because the plane was going to fly to Shanghai, and he had to monitor it for a while and get off in Shanghai.
Seeing Xu Cang was about to leave, the inspector of the bureau hesitated to speak. He was not interested in Xu Cang's rather strange manipulation method, although from a personal point of view, he could not accept it. But Xu Cang was safe and sound, and he had handled so many special cases before. He was afraid that he had no right to comment on the manipulation technology, so this matter was over.
The most crucial thing is the descent method of the VOR approach. He is sure that Xu Cang definitely has a systematic theory.
However, just as the inspector was about to speak, he bumped into Xu Cang who turned around. Xu Cang had a blank expression on his face and said nothing. When the inspector saw Xu Cang's expression, he suddenly felt his heart tighten and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his throat.
"I want to go out, please make way?"
The inspector was startled, and then he realized that he had not put away the chair, blocking Xu Cang's way out. He quickly stood up, put away the chair, and then turned sideways to make way for Xu Cang.
Xu Cang rubbed his eyes, picked up the flight box and left the cockpit.
As Xu Cang left, Shi Qi packed up and was about to leave, but was stopped by the inspector: "Shi Qi, do you know what the VOR descent method was just now?"
Shi Qi was also a representative of the bureau before. The two were not very familiar with each other, but they knew each other.
Shi Qi was ready to stand up, but when he heard the inspector's question, he looked a little puzzled: "I really don't know. This is the first time I've seen something like this. Is this from abroad? Anyway, I haven't heard of anything like this in China."
"How can it be from abroad? This method of descent is definitely superior to the current one, and today is the proof. If such a good thing existed abroad, ICAO would have already started promoting it. Even if it hasn't been promoted yet, there should be some news. It's not like we haven't heard anything about it at all." The inspector of the bureau was so anxious that he scratched his head. It was like he had seen the most novel and interesting toy, but he didn't know how to play it or what the working principle was: "Do you think Xu Cang figured it out by himself?"
"Him?" Shi Qi hesitated for a moment. "It's unlikely. This seems to be a systematic theory. Can one person come up with it?"
"He is Xu Cang. It's impossible for others, but it's hard to say for him."
Shi Qi smacked his lips. "That's hard for me to say. Anyway, I can tell you for sure that at least within our company, there has been no discussion about this method of flying."
The inspector was silent for a while. Shi Qi should not be lying to him. There was no need to lie about such a thing. "Then why don't you go ask him?"
As soon as these words came out, Shi Qi was stunned: "Why don't you go? There's still some time before the next flight. You can go down now. You'll have enough time."
The inspector scratched his head awkwardly: "Don't laugh at me. When I saw him like that just now, I remembered how I felt when I was a student facing the old instructor. I felt uneasy, you know."
"Then you let me go?" Shi Qi snorted, pushed the bureau inspector away, and ran out with a box in his hand.
The inspector of the bureau hurriedly grabbed Shi Qi and asked, "What do you mean, are you afraid too?"
Just as these few words were being said, a flight attendant came up from the side door of the jet bridge. Seeing Shi Qi and the inspector from the bureau, he cautiously said to Shi Qi, "Captain, the co-pilot wants to know how long it will take?"
The flight attendants knew the identity of the inspector, so they seemed a little reserved. This person could not only check the flight, but also the flight attendants, and had great power.
"Look, they're urging me!" Shi Qi pulled the inspector's hand away and gestured to the flight attendant: "Go, go, go, get off, get off!"
Seeing that Shi Qi had slipped away, the inspector of the bureau shouted, "Ask your company to upload the flight data of the previous section to the Flight Standards Department of the General Administration."
At this time, Shi Qi had already gone out, but his voice could still be heard through the door: "Got it, I'll tell Fei Biao."
After hearing Shi Qi's assurance, the bureau's inspectors finally felt relieved.
…
The inspectors from the bureau waited on the plane for an hour during the stopover, and then monitored the flight section from Erhai Lake to Shanghai, which took less than four hours in total.
As soon as he landed at Shanghai Airport and got on the car that was waiting for him, his cell phone rang.
I checked my phone and saw it was a call from the Technical Section of the General Administration's Flight Standards Department.
Normally, it would take two days for the flight data to come out. But since it was a supervisory requirement, Spring Airlines processed it quickly, exporting the data in two hours and sending it to the Flight Standards Department of the General Administration.
Now it seems that it has been translated.
However, this speed is a bit too fast.
The supervisor of the bureau answered the phone: "Chief Wang, has the data been translated?"
"No, I have only translated part of it. We will have to wait a little longer."
"I told you, it won't be that fast." The inspector laughed and said, "Is there something wrong that you even called me?"
"Let me ask you, are you sure that this data is true?" Chief Wang of the Technical Department suddenly asked solemnly.
"Huh?" The inspector was stunned. "Yes, that's the flight I just inspected. What happened?"
"Is that so?" Chief Wang said with some confusion in his voice: "I found a problem in some of the translated data. This section is from Tianning to Erhai Lake, spring and summer flight 9442, right?"
The bureau inspector hummed, "Yes, that's it."
"Is there any problem with the plane when it landed at Erhai Lake?" Section Chief Wang suddenly asked.
"No!" The inspector of the bureau said anxiously, "There is no problem with the plane. Everything is normal. Chief Wang, what is the problem? Stop playing dumb."
Section Chief Wang sighed, "About a thousand feet before landing at Erhai Lake, from the data decoding, there was no stick force input from the left and right seats of the aircraft. Do you think this is a problem?"
“No stick force input?” The inspector gasped. “What does this mean? The plane was unmanned? I was on the plane at the time. No, how could this be? Is there something wrong with the data?”
"So far, there is no sign of damage or modification to the flight data." Chief Wang said solemnly, "I have confirmed many times that there was no force input on either side of the aircraft before landing."
Upon hearing what Section Chief Wang said, the inspector from the bureau felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
No one is flying the plane?
So what he saw on the plane was all an illusion?
Are Xu Cang and Shi Qi sitting in front of us both ghosts?
The inspector of the bureau felt his mind becoming more and more confused: "What on earth is going on?"
…
In an industrial park on the outskirts of Tianjin, a magnificent building rises from the ground. This is the headquarters of Tianrong Aerospace Materials.
At this moment, in the office on the top floor of Tianrong Aviation Materials Headquarters, Luo Tianrong was receiving an unexpected guest, Yi Feng!
Luo Tianrong was well-maintained. Although he was over 50 years old, his skin was delicate and wrinkle-free. His hair was black and shiny without a single gray hair. However, he had small eyes, a wide nose, and big ears. He always gave people a very greasy feeling, like a typical profiteer.
At this time, Luo Tianrong was smiling as he poured tea for Yi Feng himself, while Yi Feng had a faint smile on his face, neither warm nor cold.
"Mr. Yi has been silent for a while since he left Guoda Airlines. I didn't expect that he would go under Xu Cang. But it's a pity that such a great man like Mr. Yi has to condescend to work in a small temple like Spring Airlines." Luo Tianrong handed the poured tea to Yi Feng with a very sincere attitude.
Yi Feng knew Luo Tianrong inside and out, so naturally he would not change his impression of him just because of a few words. However, he took the teacup from Luo Tianrong without changing his expression and thanked him, "Mr. Luo, you're welcome."
Luo Tianrong leaned back on the sofa and waved his hands: "Why are you being polite? I admire President Yi very much. I wonder what President Yi wants to do this time?"
Yi Feng just sipped the tea and put it back on the tea tray, chuckling: "Some time ago, I asked someone to inform your company. We are willing to mortgage the genuine license of Boeing aviation materials in our hands in order to exchange some funds from your company for turnover."
"Oh? About this." Luo Tianrong raised his eyebrows: "Someone below did tell me about it. The genuine license of Boeing aviation materials is indeed a good thing. But your offer is a bit high, 100 million, right?"
"That's right! One hundred million!" Yi Feng nodded. "The turnover period is one month. We will give you the highest interest rate in the market. If we fail to repay the principal and interest after the deadline, the genuine license for Boeing aviation materials will belong to your company."
"I know." Luo Tianrong laughed and said, "For just one month, the interest that Mr. Yi gave is indeed very sincere. It won't take long, so it's okay to make some pocket money. But, unfortunately, I, Luo Tianrong, don't have the intention to make pocket money."
Yi Feng frowned immediately: "Mr. Luo thinks the interest is not enough?"
“No, no.” Luo Tianrong laughed: “Any higher, it would be usury. I, Luo Tianrong, cannot do such things.”
"What does Mr. Luo mean?"
A trace of greed flashed in Luo Tianrong's eyes: "Boss Yi, let's be frank. You came to me because you know that only I can see the value of those genuine licenses. Besides, your cooperation with the bank has not been long, and it is highly likely that the bank will not be willing to lend you money. Even if it does, I think it would be good to have 60 or 70 million. Only by trading with me can the maximum value of those aviation material genuine licenses be brought into play."
After hearing this, Yi Feng did not deny it: "That's the truth."
"I don't know what you want to do. But it doesn't make much sense for me to just take the interest for one month." Luo Tianrong waved his hand: "If Mr. Yi insists on this deal, then we should stop talking about it and have a good cup of tea."
Yi Feng finally understood that the interest could not satisfy Luo Tianrong's appetite.
To be honest, Yi Feng knew that Luo Tianrong was very greedy. He made a lot of money by relying on the near-monopoly of aviation materials resources in China. But even so, he still couldn't change his greedy character. It seemed that no amount of money could satisfy his appetite.
Logically speaking, with collateral, a short period of time, and high interest, it was definitely a sure win for Luo Tianrong. Yue Sheng agreed to the same thing, but Luo Tianrong looked down on it.
"Mr. Luo, what do you want?" Yi Feng asked back.
Luo Tianrong clapped his hands and smiled: "Boss Yi, I like your quick words. You know, I'm in the aviation material business, and the genuine license of this aviation material is also very rare. You use this as collateral, and you will probably have to take it back later, which is not allowed. How about this, let's not do any collateral, I will increase the price by 20 million, a total of 120 million, and you will directly transfer the genuine license of the aviation material to me, how about it?"
Yi Feng restrained his smile slightly: "Boss Luo is really rich and powerful. He started with 120 million. It seems that I still underestimated Tianrong Aviation Materials."
"Alas, my company has made a small profit in recent years, but it is not in the eyes of President Yi." Luo Tianrong laughed and said, "It is indeed a good idea for you to cooperate with AVIC, you provide the authorization and they provide the aviation materials. However, after all, AVIC's main business is not aviation materials, and its production capacity is limited. It is a pity that the authorization falls into your hands. So, I, who am in the aviation materials business, just can't bear to see that the materials are not put to good use. Look, 120 million, that is definitely a very high offer. President Yi, I am full of sincerity, and we should cooperate for mutual benefit, isn't that the truth?"
"One hundred and twenty million?" Yi Feng refused without hesitation: "I'm afraid that's not possible. To be honest with Mr. Luo, our capital turnover this time is not for saving lives, but just to add icing on the cake. If Mr. Luo doesn't want to, that's fine. We at Spring Airlines still understand what it means to make steady progress."
The aviation material business, at least in the current domestic civil aviation market, is a gold mine. Yi Feng knows the difference between making money once and making money many times.
Of course, some of what Luo Tianrong said was correct, and his offer was indeed more sincere.
"Boss Luo, if the same situation happens in the future, you can just let your subordinates pass on the message. I'm not an idle person, and it's not good to come here and waste time." Yi Feng stood up slowly and suddenly laughed, "But I'm afraid we don't have a future."
After saying that, Yi Feng bowed and actually made a gesture to leave.
At this time, Yi Feng really had no hesitation in his heart, and he really intended to end his cooperation with Luo Tianrong, so his expression and actions were extremely resolute, which caught Luo Tianrong's eyes and made his face change drastically.
"This kid is really leaving!" Luo Tianrong was a little anxious. He could see that Yi Feng really didn't want to do this business anymore.
Seeing this, Luo Tianrong immediately stood up and said, "Please stay, Mr. Yi, stay!"
Yi Feng paused and turned around: "Boss Luo, do you have any other instructions?"
"Boss Yi, are you not satisfied with the offer?" Luo Tianrong suppressed his anxious look: "My offer is already very high, why don't you ask the higher-ups, that... that guy named Xu Cang? He should be the one making the decision on this matter."
Yi Feng nodded slightly: "Boss Luo, you don't have to worry about this. I can make the decision on this matter."
"Wait, wait!" Luo Tianrong was speechless. This Yi Feng was really hard to deal with. He was adamant: "Just give it a try by making a phone call. It won't take long. One hundred and thirty million. I'll increase it to one hundred and thirty million."
Although Luo Tianrong felt a little pain, he made some calculations in his mind. As long as he got those genuine authorizations, with the production capacity of his aviation material factory, he could recover the 130 million in more than three years, and the rest would be pure profit.
Three years is not a short time to get a return on investment, but it is definitely not long either.
Moreover, with the rapid development of the domestic civil aviation market, the demand for aviation materials will become increasingly greater, and it may not take more than three years.
"One hundred and thirty million?" Yi Feng hesitated for a moment. This price was indeed quite tempting.
Although he was still inclined not to do this deal, after thinking about it, he felt that it would not be a big deal to tell Xu Cang.
After a moment's silence, Yi Feng hummed, "Then Mr. Luo, please wait a moment. I will ask you something."
Luo Tianrong let out a long sigh, a trace of frustration flashed through his mind. How could he raise the price to beg someone? But it didn't matter, as long as he could get the genuine authorization of the aviation material, he would be fine with some humiliation, and then he could raise the price of Spring Airlines and suck more blood from them.
Yi Feng naturally had no idea of ​​Luo Tianrong's vicious intentions. He walked out of the office, found a secluded place, and called Xu Cang.
Soon, Xu Cang's slightly low voice came from the other side of the phone: "What's wrong?"
"Xu Cang, this is what happened." Yi Feng immediately explained the situation to Xu Cang, and added, "Do you think this deal can be done?"
"One hundred and thirty million?" Xu Cang spoke slowly and seemed to be thinking seriously.
Yi Feng interrupted, "Xu Cang, 130 million is indeed a high price, but I still prefer to keep those authorizations. AVIC's production capacity is indeed not as good as Tianrong Aviation Materials, but in the future, under the influence of the large civil aviation market environment, AVIC should also increase its production capacity."
"One hundred and thirty million, this is indeed a very tempting offer." Xu Cang paused and said, "Yi Feng, one hundred and fifty million! If he can raise it to one hundred and fifty million, then I will agree to it."
As soon as these words came out, Yi Feng was immediately shocked: "Xu Cang, you really want to transfer the authorization. This is not how a one-time transaction is done, right?"
"Yi Feng, we need a large sum of money to carry out certain capital operations recently. The more we invest, the higher the profit."
"I understand! However, the genuine licenses of these aviation materials are extremely high-quality assets. It would be a pity to sell them." Yi Feng still couldn't accept Xu Cang's decision. There was even a moment when Yi Feng regretted calling Xu Cang.
"Besides, if we sell the aviation material authorization, how can we explain to AVIC? We have already agreed to cooperate to establish an aviation material company. Although we haven't signed the agreement, this is not a good thing. It's really not a good thing."
"I know, I know." Xu Cang said immediately: "Don't worry, it's just stored at Tianrong Aviation Materials for a while, and it will eventually come back to us."
Yi Feng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
About ten minutes later, Yi Feng came back to Luo Tianrong's office with a stern face. Luo Tianrong, who had been waiting anxiously, saw Yi Feng finally come back and said with a fake smile: "What took you so long?"
"This is a serious matter, so we'll have to talk for a while." Yi Feng looked unhappy: "Xu Cang just said that if Mr. Luo can raise the price to 150 million, we can transfer the copyright to you."
"One hundred and fifty million!" Luo Tianrong was also shocked: "This... this premium is a bit high, right?"
"You and I both know that the genuine licenses of these aviation materials are extremely high-quality assets. I personally don't want to do this deal, but Xu Cang is willing. One hundred and fifty million, Mr. Luo, you can weigh it yourself. If you can do it, we can decide today. If you can't, let's just forget about it. It's a fixed price."
Yi Feng's attitude was very firm, and it seemed that he would not give up even a cent.
"One hundred and fifty million, one hundred and fifty million." Luo Tianrong felt that the extra twenty million was cutting his own flesh, but even at one hundred and fifty million, this deal still had a lot of profit margin, it's just that the payback period was lengthened.
After a minute of silence, Luo Tianrong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do it. One hundred and fifty million, okay!"
There was an imperceptible curve at the corner of Yi Feng's mouth, but he controlled his expression very well, hiding his inner thoughts well.
"One more thing."
"Hmm?" Luo Tianrong's face showed a hint of displeasure: "Why are there any conditions?"
"Actually, this is not a condition." Yi Feng waved his hand: "We also cherish the authorization of these genuine aviation materials. Unless there are other things that require a lot of money, we will never transfer these authorizations. So, if Mr. Luo intends to sell these aviation material authorizations again in the future, I hope we have the priority to purchase them."
"Ah?" Luo Tianrong was stunned, then he suppressed his smile and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, of course you can."
Although he said this, he was smiling in his heart.
He would have to be crazy to sell the genuine licenses for these aviation materials again. The longer he holds on to this thing, the higher the profit he can create. He thought it was some kind of condition, but it turned out to be something boring that would never happen.
Although the final bid was a bit high, overall, Luo Tianrong was satisfied with the result.
"In that case, I will send someone to discuss and draw up an agreement with your company." Yi Feng said: "By the way, the transfer of aviation material authorization still requires Boeing's consent..."
Previously, it was just a mortgage, not a real transaction transfer, so Boeing only needed to be informed. But now it involves an actual transfer, so Boeing's consent must be obtained.
Luo Tianrong has been working with Boeing for a long time, and he immediately patted his chest and said, "It's okay, leave it to me."
Yi Feng was naturally happy to be free: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Luo."
After that, both parties got what they wanted, and the subsequent guests had a great time, making it a lively occasion.
…
At the Erhai Lake base, in the dormitory building of Spring Airlines, Xu Cang stood by the window, facing the sunlight, his eyes half-closed, his face always maintaining a faint solemnity.
Suddenly, he raised his left hand, spread out his five fingers, and placed it under the sun. Under the sun, the edges of Xu Cang's five fingers on his left hand were red, and his fair skin was shining like white jade. Suddenly, Xu Cang sighed softly, looking a little helpless and depressed.
Suddenly, Xu Cang's cell phone on the table rang. Xu Cang turned his head and saw that it was the number of Di Qingquan, the chief pilot of the bureau.
"Huh?" A hint of surprise flashed across Xu Cang's face. Di Qingquan rarely called him.
After thinking for a while, Xu Cang answered the phone: "What's wrong?"
"Xu Cang, is there a 9442 flight ahead, the flight from Tianning to Erhai, which is under route monitoring?" Di Qingquan asked.
"Well, yes, is there any problem?" Xu Cang felt something and roughly knew why Di Qingquan made this call.
"Yes, there are some things." Di Qingquan paused for a moment: "However, compared to the flight, I have a question that I need to hear your opinion on."
Xu Cang frowned and asked him for advice. He felt that things were not going in the direction he expected. "Chief Engineer Di, you have your say."
"I'm about to step down as Chief Pilot..."
When Xu Cang heard this, all kinds of possibilities flashed through his mind, but the next sentence directly shocked Xu Cang.
I heard Di Qingquan suddenly ask: "I wonder if you are interested in taking over my position?"
Xu Cang just felt extremely incredible: "Chief Engineer Di, are you asking me to take over as the Chief Pilot of the Bureau?"
